A clipboard and a confident wave will get you into any building in the world...

And apparently an orange tie will get you on the floor at the Greensboro Coliseum.

I had a friend in college who worked security at a concert and stole the yellow security jacket and used it for almost a decade to get into all kinds of events for free. He was never caught, never questioned...

He definitely had the confidence to pull it off. He only stopped doing it after we pulled him aside at a wedding and explained to him if he got caught, he would probably lose his job (He's an attorney at a firm that has luxury boxes at most of the events he would sneak into...).

The clipboard is true. I used a clipboard when covering events and would always get questions like I was an administrator or something. I stopped carrying them when covering marathons/triathlons because everyone thought I was the race director. "No, I don't know where you pick up your medal."
